| Summary: | 碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 工業設計系碩士班 === 100 === Multi-function steering wheel offers the driver safety without taking his or her eyes away from traffic situation. But the present display of button, icon, label and operation is different. Users might need to learn new operation. Thus, it is important for users to know the icon and label on the button.

In this study, use multi-function steering wheel of Mondeo for experimental sample to proceed usability testing. The usability testing includes two testing processes that are unimproved and improved user interfaces build by flash software. Participants would be asked to fill in the subjective satisfaction questionnaire and giving their option after usability testing. The usability testing has six participants and two experts which are familiar with the interface. Participants are half male and half female that contain ever use multi-function steering wheel and never use. The average task time of two experts would be the basis for the weighted mode.
